This limits scalability and efficiency in interacting with environments. We address this by presenting a vision for room-scale AI, where interactive environments are enriched with AI functionality to facilitate natural, context-aware interaction. Leveraging multi-agent systems, tasks can be divided into smaller components, enabling AI agent-powered devices to proactively assess situations, support users, and adapt to the environment as needed. This paradigm shift transforms the environment into an active collaborator. We present the potential of room-scale AI through use cases and highlight its broader implications. Finally, we outline key challenges and research directions to advance this transformative concept, aiming to reimagine how users interact with and are supported by intelligent environments.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
